About
Hey there, I’m Kristian, a NYC-based dog fitness trainer and founder of Unleaxshed, a canine exercise and cardio-based training service helping NYC dogs burn energy the right way. Most dogs don’t just need “a walk” — they need structured movement that challenges their minds and bodies. That’s where we come in. With us your pup doesn’t just stretch their legs, they train like an athlete. Every session blends endurance, agility, and mental stimulation to build confidence, focus, and happiness. Whether it’s a high-energy sprint session, agility drills, or an uptempo group walk with other well-mannered dogs, we customize each program to your dog’s personality, breed, and goals.

I am extremely happy with this service. Kristian is always on time, communicates with me and send me updates of Lexi (my 🐶) both written texts, photos and videos. I work all day and never have to worry about Lexi being taken care of - she goes on 2 walks a day which has been perfect. She loves Kristian and he loves her too! I highly recommend this service and I’ve dealt with many dog walkers, trainers in nyc. They are the best and I will continue to use them 4 days a week.

Working with the canine cardio club has been perfect! Kristian is insightful, thorough, and responsive. He sends pictures and videos after every walk with a quick rundown of how it went! My dog Ollie has been warming up more and more to him. It’s nice to have found a place that I can trust with my dog while I’m not home.

Details: 1 dog • 0 - 1 years old • Extra Small (1 - 15 lbs) • 30 minutes (standard) • No preference • My home, venue, etc.

Very grateful and appreciative for Kristian and his team. I couldn’t have asked for more. Very caring, courteous, accommodating and always professional. The dogs love him and he loves them back. Whether it’s a walk or a trip to the dog park my dogs are always happy to see him and hang out with him.

Kristian has been walking my Goldendoodle Penny for two weeks now and he's so great! this is my first experience with a dog walker, so I was a little nervous, but Kristian came to do a meet and greet and was happy to answer any and all of my many questions. He's super thoughtful and thorough and I love the picture update after every walk.

Kristian is great with my 3 year old pomsky. He runs with her, which is a great way to get her energy out. He sends photos and updates to me after the walk. He is responsible and has never missed a visit! Highly recommend.
